Stock Track | Viasat Plummets 6.76% Intraday on Earnings Preview Showing Expected Loss and Significant Price Target Gap

Stock Track05-16

Viasat's stock plummeted 6.76% during intraday trading on Friday, as investors reacted to an earnings preview indicating the company is expected to post a loss in its upcoming quarterly report.

According to the preview, Viasat is expected to report a loss of 36 cents per share for the period ending March 31, 2026, despite an anticipated 4.3% rise in revenue to $1.196 billion. The median 12-month price target from Wall Street analysts is $50.50, which is approximately 32% below the stock's last closing price of $74.30, highlighting a significant valuation concern.

While the average analyst rating remains "buy," the expected loss and the substantial gap between the current trading price and the analyst price target appear to have driven the sell-off in the session.
